[QUOTE="Box Ox, post: 6018496, member: 48469"] Male participation in female sports has likely increased over the last 4 years. Perhaps there's a difference in where public awareness and opinion on the issue was during Trump's first term and right now. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-news/americans-oppose-inclusion-trans-athletes-sports-poll-finds-rcna88940[/URL] June 12, 2023 "More Americans than before oppose transgender athletes competing in sports that align with their gender identity and say transitioning genders is “morally wrong,” according to a [URL='https://news.gallup.com/poll/507023/say-birth-gender-dictate-sports-participation.aspx']report[/URL] from Gallup released Monday. The survey — conducted from May 1 to May 24 via telephone interviews with roughly 1,000 adults living in the U.S. — found that 69% of people say that transgender athletes should only be allowed to compete on sports teams that correspond with the sex they were assigned at birth, compared with 62% in 2021. It also shows that a slightly higher share of Americans, 55%, consider “changing one’s gender” to be more “morally wrong” than in 2021, when it was 51%." [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.newsweek.com/stiking-change-americans-view-transgender-athletes-1806110[/URL] June 12, 2023 "The debate over transgender athletes has become the focus of America's culture wars, but as progressives push for wider inclusion, a new poll shows that Democratic voters are becoming less supportive of gender identity in sports. A Gallup poll released on Monday found that the number of [URL='https://www.newsweek.com/topic/democrats']Democrats[/URL] who say transgender athletes should be allowed to play on sports teams that match their gender identity fell from 55 percent in 2021 to 47 percent this year. At the same time, the number of Democrats who say transgender athletes should only participate on teams that match their birth gender has gone up from 41 to 48 percent in the same time period." ----------- "As conservatives seek to restrict the participation of transgender athletes in sports, the White House and Democratic officials have vowed to push back on state bans and vowed to make the country safer for members of the LGBTQ+ community. The shift in opinion among Democratic voters is part of a national trend that shows a growing number of Americans who say transgender athletes should only be allowed to compete on sports teams for their birth gender. Likewise, support for transgender athletes playing on teams that match their gender identity has fallen 8 percent over the last two years. "It appears that Americans view transgender sports participation more through a lens of competitive fairness than transgender civil rights," Gallup's Jeff Jones wrote in a blog post." [/QUOTE]
